Alright, seems there's a demand for us to put up a site Christmas tree.  This sounds like a great idea, and a wonderful chance to involve a volunteer!  Draw me a Christmas tree, and I'll upload it to the site next to the Memberbar or something.  To add ornaments to it, all that one needs to do is replace the image with the new one. 

So, I need a volunteer to draw or find a good "base" picture of a Christmas tree, and be the point of contact that everyone emails/pms their ornaments to.  It'll be your job to use MS Paint or whatever art program to add the ornament to the tree, then upload it using an FTP account (I'll give you all the permissions and such you need, and make it really simple for you!)

Awesome idea! 

[sillydraco]

yaaaaaay this sounds like fun!

[Nallow]

Finally something i can draw. Cool idea 

[Astoroth]

Hey selly ^^ you know i missed you so much    :P anyway big fella, this could be really fun, so if you cant find anyone, I wouldn't mind putting my photoshop skills to work for the site.

lemme know what you come up with cuttie!

Christmas trees are fun and easy, ornaments more so. An ornament can be something as simple as a circle with some shading for depth. I'm willing to give this a try. If not the tree I will be submitting a few ideas for ornaments.

I want to add a dragon design to one of my ornaments but don't know how to draw one in Photoshop or MS Paint. Anyone know of a good tutorial for this?

k i got the tree done! now all we need is some ornaments! <3 they should prolly be around oh, lets say 5-10 pixels wide and tall, doesnt have to be anything fancy ^^ might make an official thread for the ornaments, and a list on who sent them in ^^

[Selroth]

Yep!  I'll have sillydraco's tree posted soon!  Hopefully it's not too big or small.

[sillydraco]

kinda too small XD and it looks like there is something wrong with the transparency >.< ill fix, prolly have to put a background on it :/ ill make bigger too ^^

[Selroth]

Yeah, my bad on the size call.  Never done it before, so I just kinda guestimated :) 

You should be able to change everything about it from there.  An bigger picture should safely replace that one.  Thanks!  Looks wonderful too!!

And yeah, go ahead and give it a white background or something, as the transparency doesn't seem necessary 

[sillydraco]

this one should look better! oh, and feel free to make your ornaments 30x30 pixels (the size of the smilies  <"omg im an example 8[")

EDIT:
you might need to refresh to see the new one!

[Aurelia]

Yeah that's a better size :)

[sillydraco]

yay!

D'oh. I was wondering why I couldn't see the tree, then realised it was because I've been using the forest theme!

D'oh. I was wondering why I couldn't see the tree, then realised it was because I've been using the forest theme!

Yeah it will need to be added to all themes - I've still got to coordinate with Sel about getting the forest theme finished.
